Miraj shares his favorite interest with his dad. They both love classic cars.

And when Miraj wished to have a car of his own, he wanted it to look just like the red Camaro Z28 his dad owns. Specifically, Miraj said he wanted a red Chevrolet Camaro “with keys and a horn that honks.” One of his wish granters described Miraj as a quiet boy who doesn’t say much but smiles a lot. “He was so cute,” she said, remembering when she first met him.

His Make-A-Wish^® volunteers got to work on finding Miraj a miniature version of his dad’s car, one fit for a 9-year-old boy to drive. To grant this four-wheeled wish, they contacted Mobileation, an Arizona company that specializes in making ride-on toys. The generous employees at Mobileation started with a standard go-kart and put in hours turning it into a battery-powered mini Camaro. Throughout the process, Miraj’s wish granters would check in with him to be sure the car matched his specifications.

The look on Miraj’s face when he received his new set of wheels and sat in the driver’s seat said it all. As Miraj’s dad watched his son take the wheel of a car identical to his own, he kept saying, “This is so cool.” And Miraj doesn’t have to worry about where to store his new car, because his wish included a shed in the backyard where he can safely park his hot ride. “He really wanted a safe place to park his car,” one of his wish granters said. “It’s Miraj’s personal little garage.”
